days of glory and hope are gone.
This cOncensus of newspaper opinion
| is not quite shared by the official cir
| Gle, where the resurgence of Boulanger
as as the Red;o.,a military R leader o.
sue of the warfare of parties. General
BOulangel s innocence of anything but
an indiscretion is accepted here as I'M
assailable. The North German Gazette
expresses distinctly the official concep-
tion of the whole affair in saying that
events are proving clearly how great a
part politics and party will play in
General Caffarel'S trial. The GaZette's
suggestive remark Is borne out by prl-
vate advices from Paris that NJ. Ferry
is the wire-pulier of all the revelations.
The FerryistS got hold of the facts in
vOlving General Caffarel and General
d. Andlan, and worked them up so as
to enmeSh General Boulanger and NJ.
Wilson and thus lead to the down
fall of sGenerai Boulanger, the
resignation of President Grevy and the
advent of NJ. Ferry: While condemn
ing the intrigue, the Germans have
confidence in the prudence of NJ.
Ferry's foreign policy, and would well
come the return of Ferry Ministry.
Another noteworthy aspect of the Ger
man feeling is the tendency of SYM
pathy for the French people, The
Vassiche Zeitung claims for the
French as national qualities morality,
sObriety and industry, and says it
would be unjust to hold them response
bic for vicious social eXcrescence.
The Republic, it says, born in the soil
of the empire, has been obliged to live
with moral plaques inherited from the
empire, but will yet find force within
itself to get rid of these traces OF i'm
perial corruption.
THE CHINESE BANK.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Standards
Shanghai correspondent gives further
particulars regarding the American
banking syndicate. Nit KiewicZ, while
trying to obtain a concession used the
name of Vanderbilt, which was men
toned in an agreement signed by Lii
Chung Hang. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
warned, but not in time to prevent the
use of his name. Then Nit KieWicZ
mentioned the names of Messrs. Gould
and Mackay. On Mr.. Gould'S son de-
nying his fathers connection with the
syndicate, Nit Kiewicz engaged Barker
Bros. of London who, after consulting
a large banking firm of London, pro-
nounced the scheme untenable. 1t
transpires, moreover, that whatever
railways and other works should be I'M
dertaken with the money raised in
America were to be mOrtgaged to the
syndicate.
MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Inauguration
of the Memorial Fountain, presented
by Mr.. G.. w. Childs, of Philadelphia,
to Stratford-upon-AY passed off
under the brightest auspices. The
Mayor, Sir Arthur Hodgson, had sug-
gested partial suspension of business

quite stirred the houses of the people
and the day became general jubilee.
The Mayor opened the proceedings.
He referred to the regretable absence
of Mr.. James Russell Lowell. He had,
however, received letter from MIR.
Lowell, which would go home to the
hearts of all who heard it, and of the
many more who read it. The letter
said:
II should more deeply regret my in
ability to he present at the interesting
ceremonial of the 18th were it not that
my countrymen will be more faithfully
and adequately represented there by
their accomplished Minister, Mr..
Phelps. The occasion is certainly a
most interesting one. The monument,
which you accept to-day in behalf OF
your tOWnSman, commentaries at once
the most marvellous of Englishmen and
whose name is honored wherever the
Language is spoken, of which he was the
greatest master. No symbol could
more aptly serve this double purpose
than a fountain, for surely no poet ever
poured forth so broad river of speech
as he, whether he was the author of
the "Noyum Organum, or not. Nor

example be better typified than by the

that this memorial should be the gift
of an American, and thus serve to re-
call the kindred blood of the two great
nations, joint heirs of the same noble
language and of the genius that has
given it cosmopolitan significance:
am glad of it because it is one of the
multiplying signs that these two ma
lions are beginning to think more and
more of the things in which they sym
